Not Perfect

It’s that time of year. Too many celebrations. I didn’t plan well enough this past week and ended up eating too much this weekend. I don’t feel like I OVER ate…just ate the wrong things and didn’t have the points left for them. I felt miserable last night and SO ready to get back on track.

For breakfast, I made an egg sandwich on a light English muffin along with skim milk and a banana.

I got hubby’s birthday presents wrapped, my present for the grab and steal exchange at work wrapped, and did some things around the house.

While working, I sipped on coffee with FF creamer. Hubby’s uncle is a coffee connoisseur. He gave us a couple of bags of coffee beans and I think it’s some of the best coffee I’ve ever had!

I was hungry on my first break, so I ate 1/2 cup of plain oatmeal.

For lunch, I ate a baked potato topped with FF cheese and broccoli.

I also had 2 Cuties Clementines. Perfect pocket fruit.

I finally found these for an affordable price—and they don’t disappoint! SO GOOD!

And then I had a bit of an affair with Russell Stover chocolates…Yeh…Hubby and I each received a box of these from his relatives for his birthday and my graduation…They are too good. And I will have to have hubby hide them…

I got off of work a little early today—which is always nice! I got more stuff done around the house and then sat down to work on my Finals. I finished one of my finals. YAY!! I REALLY LOVED getting that extra time off of work today.

For supper, I had chicken, lentils with apple cider vinegar, and FF cottage cheese.

I also had a side salad with lettuce, tomato, feta and FF Western for 1 point.

I found that FF dressings ARE a Simply Filling food. There seems to be some foods that are power foods and other foods you don’t have to count because they’re filling foods. It’s confusing.

I finished it all up with a Lite Blueberry Cheesecake yogurt. I added milled flax seed for a little extra flavor.

Well, today wasn’t perfect, but it was better than yesterday and that counts for something.

this time of year is just brutal -- between the food & stress -- it's hard to stay on track with anything! but you are rockin' it!

and i totally agree -- sometimes figuring out what is a power food & a *freebie* on simply filling is confusing. things i think are end up not being on the list & vice versa -- i have added points i didn't plan to because i assumed. but i am still loving it wayyyyy better than tracking!
